Reviews
We made a reservation for a little later in the evening so we could walk around the resort and beach area for sunset and would highly recommend it as the surrounding beaches are beautiful and picturesque.
After, we sat down for dinner on the patio, and enjoyed the gorgeous view overlooking the Pacific. Robert was our waiter and was an expert at his craft. He was extremely kind, helpful, knowledgeable and couldn’t have made our experience better.
The food was stellar – we had the stone fruit salad, coffee crusted NY Strip and roasted carrots. They also brought us a chocolate surprise for our anniversary and we still ended up ordering another dessert because of how good everything was. We ended with the mille-feuille, which was exceptional.
We both left the meal with big smiles on our faces and have been talking about it every day since. The Loft is a true accomplishment in a culinary and service experience. Thank you, Montage and Robert, for an unforgettable evening!
During our first visit for lunch, we had fresh juices, the grain bowl, and a Caesar salad. Everything was delicious and well-prepared. Unfortunately, the terrace was not an option due to ongoing construction as it was very loud, which definitely took away from the experience. We were really hoping to enjoy the outdoor seating and the views.
For my second visit, I came alone for dinner. Even though there were plenty of empty tables, they made me wait about 10 minutes to be seated, which felt a bit unnecessary. But once I was seated, the rest of the experience was enjoyable. I ordered the scallops — there were only three on the plate, but they were actually quite satisfying and tasted great. Definitely more on the light and elegant side.
Overall, I do like this place and would come back — especially once the construction is finished. Sitting on the terrace seems like a big part of the full experience, and I’d love to enjoy it properly next time.
Everything else was pretty meh especially for the price. The iceberg salad was bland and a bit sad although quite fresh. The whipped potatoes seemed a bit under seasoned, would’ve enjoyed a bit more salt. The squash was quite hard and had this Indian type spice that was not for me. Cocktails seemed uninspired for $26. Service was quite good, but when you pay prices these high you hope to be wowed by at least by one dish.
Food was excellent, service was exceptional especially Emerson (he was extremely kind). View is breathtaking.. I look forward to dining again. I recommend all dishes pictured.
On my last trip warmly greeted and seated overlooking the pool and the ocean, the Sommelier Gary helped me and my date pick out a bottle of a fantastic Riesling and spoke with us a while about chartreuse varieties. The waiter made some recommendations including an off menu parmesan risotto which ended up ordering with a lobster tail. The foot was exceptional and the lobster Tail served over the parmesan Risotto currently lives rent free in my mind. Great experience and I found it to be great value for the service, setting and food quality they provide.
